Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 8 slices turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. If desired, cut them in half for shorter bundles.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt until they are evenly coated.
Take about eight green beans and wrap them with a slice of turkey bacon, securing the ends by tucking them beneath the bundle. Alternatively, use a toothpick to keep the bacon in place.
Repeat the process until all green beans and turkey bacon slices are used up.
Place the green bean bundles on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to crisp up the bacon. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once they are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or an appetizer.
